I Application led May 2, 1914. Serial No. 835,866.

T0 'all whom. it may concern.'

Be it known that we, ALorsE ANTOINE and ERNEST ANTOINE, both citizens'of the United States, and residents of Passaic, in

the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Sugar-Bowl, of which the following` is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among theA principal objects which the present'inverition has in view are; to provide a protective receptacle for deliquescent granular or pulverized substances; to provide means for delivering a measured quantity `of the substance from the receptacle;

character mentioned with means for -preventing unsanitary contact of the contents and extraneous matter; and to provlde means for measuring vthe quantity of substance to be delivered.

Drawinga.-Figure l is a vertical section of a receptacle such as described, constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a similar view showing ,the receptacle in the inverted or delivery position thereof; Fig. 3 is a detail view of the pouring neck, the cover thereof being shown in its raised position; Fig. i isajsideelevation of the same, the cover being shown in the closedv position.

De809epte'on.-s shown in the accompanying drawings, the bowl 9 is constructed of glass, and is provided at the centerof the bottoni with' a neck portion 10. lThe neck portion 10 is externally threaded to engage and hold a cap nut cover 11. 'lhe cover 11 is employed to fill the inner receptacle wil-,h sugar or other material for the distribution of which the utensil is proo ded. n

the receptacle 12 is formed by an inner wall 153, 'i nich is spaced apart from the to form. an annular chamber acle 15. The Walls 13 and base or bottom of the end, the receptacle n a nozzle section, set from vlibe wall ne major portion of the recepthe end the nozzle, a pourlgl is former to deliver the con- "f the measuring ywr-ill la is which the the to generally provide a receptacle of thebulge or belly of the boWl 9. At the end of the neck 19, a screw-threaded section 21 is provided, thethreads whereof engage the internal threads 'of a neck 22. v

The neck 22 above referred to is preferably formed of metal, andV supports the cup 18 by meansV of spider arms 23. The cup 18 is normally inverted, and is provided With a flared wall 24. The inner surface is inset from the line of the outer surface of the inner wall 13. By this arrangement, there is avoided a delivery of any of the contents of the receptacle 15 'into the cup 18 when the receptacle' is inverted to its pouring or delivery position.

rlhe capacity of the cup 18, or the quantity of the material to be measured thereby, is determined by a screw plug 25. The plug 25 is threaded to register with the threaded section 26 of 4the cup 18. To manipulate the plug 25, itis provided with a wing nut 127? lThe nut and plug are exposed when the cover 28 is lifted.

rfhe cover 2S is provided with a thumbrest 29, which is held normally adjacent the handle 20 for the convenience ofthe person handling the utensil. A spring 30 is employed to hold the cover 28 firmly in its closed position.

lt will be seen that when the utensil is inverted, as shown inl Fig. 2 of the drawings, the material held in the receptacle 12 flows through the opening 17 into the cup 18 until the cup is filled sufficiently to choke the outdow from said opening. lf, as shown by said figure, the outer receptacle 15 has been previously charged, the material held therein is delivered through the neck 22, being distributed in accordance with the direction imparted thereto by the operator. lifter the material has been delivered from e receptacle 15, the bowl upturned to normal position, when material whit:1 has been deposited in the' a 18 will, downward ti i 16 and into the receptacle 15. tei il thus measnred will the bottom of the reoe bowl is in condi quantity of -son it is desired to measured bv the cup i.

increase receptacle being spaced apart and contracted toform circumjacent pouring openreceptacle being spaced apart and con! tracted to form circumjacent pouring openings; a pouring neck for said bowl incorporated with the outer of said walls; a measuring cup extending in said neck in spaced relation to the wall thereof and provided .with a ilared pouring opening, circumfolding in spaced relation the pouring opening formed by said inner wall; and

means adjustable in said cup for varying 'the holding capacity thereof.

, 3. A bowl as characterized, comprising a double-walled receptacle, the walls of said receptacle being spaced apart and contracted td form circumjacent pouring open` ings; a' pouring neck for said bowl incorporated with the outer of said walls; a measuring cup extending in said neck in spaced relation to the wall thereof and provided with a liared pouring opening, circumfolding in spaced relation the pouring opening formed by said inner wall; and a movable bottom for said cup varying the holding capacity of said cup. v y

4. A bowl as characterized, comprising a double-walled receptacle, `the wallsof said receptacle being spaced apart and contracted to form circumj acent pouring openings; a pouring neck for said bowl incorporated with the outer of said walls; a measuring cup extending in said neck in spaced relation to the'wall thereof and pro- -vided with a iared pouring opening, circumfolding in spaced relation the pouring.Y

opening formed by said inner wall; and a screw-threaded member mounted in said cup and ormin the bottom thereof, said member being a justable to vary the holding capacity of said cup. l

5. A bowl as characterized, comprising a double-walled receptacle, the walls of said receptacle being spaced apart and contracted to form circumjacent pouring openings; a pouring neck for said bowl incorporated with the outer of said walls; a measuring cup extending in said neck in spaced relation to the wall thereof and prov'1ded with a fiared pouring` opening, circumfolding in spaced relation the pouring opening formed bysaid inner wall; a mevable bottom for said cup varying the holdv ing capacity ofsaid cup; and a detachable neck mounted upon said pouring neck, said detachable neck being ixedly connected mesma' i. with said cup` forsupporting the same in tracted to form circumjacent pouring openings; a pouring neck for said bowl incorporated with the outer of said walls; a

measuring cup extendin lin said neck in spaced relation tothe wa l thereof'and pro-l vided with a flared pouring opening, circumfolding in spaced relation the pouring opening formed by said inner wall; a movable bottom for said cup varying the holding capacity of said cup; a detachable neck mounted` upon said pouring neck, said detachable .neck being fixedly connected with said cup for supporting the same in said .-bowl; and a cover pivotally mounted onsaid neck above said cup to close the en-l trance to said bowl.

7. A bowl as characterized, comprising a Vdouble-walled receptacle having a plurality of circumjacent pouring openln s; an linverted measurlng cup circumfolding the 1nnerof said openings to limit the ltlow therefrom; a pouring membery formed by the inner wall, said member being inset from the major portion of said wallto form a protecting shoulder for the lip of said cup; means for suspending said cup between said openings; and a screw plug formino the bottom of said cup, said plug being adjustable to vary the capacity of said cup.

S. A bowl as characterized, constructed from transparent material and. comprising a double-walled receptacle, the walls whereof are circumjacent in spaced relation to form relatively outer and/ inner compart ments, said outer compartment having an annular bottom raised above the bottom of Vthe inner compartment; a pouring neck for said inner compartment, said neck being contracted adjacent the pouring .opening `thereof; and a measuring cup having a ALOISE ANTOINE.
